[Kaden]No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't take my mind off Matilda's words last night. The way her voice sounded when she told me that the place she was going to was none of my business.Of course, I know that it has absolutely nothing to do with me but she's the mother of my children and a woman I care so much about, so I just wanted to know.My hand tightened on the steering wheel as I drove straight to her house. A dull ache spread through my chest as I tried to push the thoughts aside. I don't know how it would happen but I would make Matilda mine. That bastard can't have her, not when I feel this way. Not when my feelings for her keep increasing each passing day.Just as her gate came into view, I controlled it from my phone and it slid open. I drove right in and closed it up.I drove straight into the garage. My chest tightened slightly as I pulled the car to a stop. I knew what I was going to do in there sounded stupid but I needed to know where exactly she was going.I st
[Matilda]My lips pressed into a smile as I stared at the package that was delivered to me this morning. I bit down on my lips, staring from the long red gown that was sprawled on my bed to the black heels and the black bag that came together with it."What exactly is Leo up to?" I asked myself for the umpteenth time as I tried to figure out where exactly he was taking me.Did he open a new company and wants to surprise me with it? Because I know how hardworking that man has always been.I stared at the clothes one more time before turning back to my phone. I stared at the time. It was 8 am and he said he would pick me up in a few hours.I bit down on my lips as a certain man crossed over my head again. I swallowed hard, my mind drifting back to the way I spoke to him yesterday. The way I told him that the place I was going was none of his business.Tying up my hair into a ponytail I tried to push him aside. God, I know it was impossible not to think about Kaden but I know I'm doing a
[Kaden] "So what information do you have?" I asked, even though every part of my body was screaming to strangle the shit out of this bastard. He chuckled, shaking his head as he let out a loud groan. "You must see me for a fool." He smiled, shaking his head. "You have me here paralyzed. You're here with some money and you want to force words out of my mouth. So what are the odds that I would walk out here alive after telling you what I know?" He snapped. My hand fisted into a tight ball as I stared back at him. Of course, there was no way I was going to let him out here easily, whether he was playing around or had something. But that didn't mean I would stain my hands. But with each word that left his mouth, I'm convinced that this dude knows something important just like he said. "I'm waiting," I hissed out. He stared at me, leaning back on his chair like he wasn't even up for negotiation. "I'm going to say one word to you Kaden. He bit down on his lips trying so hard to suppress
[Kaden]"Are you sure about this?" Mason asked as I walked out of the bank with some cash in a briefcase. That bastard would get the money but like I said it will be on my terms."I know what I'm doing."We walked over to my car and I slid in while Mason did the same. I ignited the engine, my jaw clenching hard as I sped off heading straight to the basement. My eyes shifted to the time and it was 6 pm.I tilted my neck to the side, my leg pressing the accelerator as my mind spiraled all over Call it an instinct but I could tell that everything wasn't okay. The way Enzo spoke about it if I wanted to stop a threat I know nothing about.I tried to think. Think of who it could be, of what threat he was talking about but my mind was blank. Blank. My car came to an instant stop in front of the building and I killed my engine, stepping out of the car.I walked over to the backseat and pulled it open, grabbing the briefcase. My eyes shifted to Mason who was still staring at me like I had tw
[Matilda]"Are you going to keep this up?" I asked Leo for the umpteenth time as we walked into the amusement parkLeo opted to take the kids to the amusement park to have fun with other kids and I couldn't help the way my heart swelled up with joy. I knew he was doing all this to make sure my kids were vibrant and happy, especially since Kaden had refused to let him take the kids on a vacation."What am I keeping up?" He asked with a smile all over his face and I knew exactly what he was doing.I chuckled, my eyes trailing to Austin and Aiden who were walking ahead of us."You seriously don't want to give me a hint on where we are going tomorrow?" I asked and he shook his head, flashing me that gorgeous smile with that set of sparkling white teeth."I can't tell baby. Please stop asking, you're making me feel bad already." Leo pouted and I couldn't help but burst into laughter."You're acting like a child so I could let it go right? I know what you're doing. It's just oh, this is whe
[Kaden]"I'm right here," I said into the phone, my voice low as my eyes scanned the quiet area. Trees loomed on every side, thick and heavy, cloaking most of the surroundings in shadow.Spider’s voice came through clearly, giving directions. I moved with Mason beside me, each step cautious but steady as we followed what he said.We hadn’t taken more than six steps forward when I spotted him.There—perched like a hawk on a crumbling wall, half-shielded by leaves. Spider lifted a hand. I returned the gesture with a firm nod and walked closer."Boss," he greeted, not turning his gaze from the house just ahead.I followed the direction of his stare. The place looked dead from a distance, except for a faint, almost unnoticeable light glowing through one of the windows.Without a word, I reached for my waistband, fingers brushing over the grip of my gun—still there. "Lead the way," I said to Spider. He nodded once and began moving toward the building.I looked at Mason. "We should head i
